PORTLAND, OR, October 12, 2023 - Travis Rush has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
As the chief executive officer of Reperio Health, Mr. Rush is an established entrepreneur who focuses on providing patients with convenient access to preventative care services. Based in Portland, OR, Reperio is the only provider of at-home and onsite comprehensive health screenings with instant results. An innovation in preventive health, Reperio's patented technology pairs a mobile app with FDA-cleared medical devices and brings a consumer-grade experience to biometric screenings, offering biometrics such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose. Reperio empowers users with their health data at their fingertips so they can make immediate and informed health and lifestyle changes.
The movement to modernize preventive care is critical. Nearly 1 in 2 adults with diabetes worldwide are undiagnosed, an alarming statistic given that adults with diabetes have a two to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Biometric screenings can help identify chronic diseases and conditions early, and Reperio Health innovates against the costly and inaccessible screening processes deployed today.
Envisioning future success, Mr. Rush believes that Reperio Health has the potential to become a global solution for modernized health screenings. Mr. Rush has held an issued U.S. patent for Reperio's Bluetooth-integrated technology since 2022, with current patent pending status across 25 countries.
A seasoned entrepreneur, Mr. Rush attended Oregon State University in 1990, but dropped out after two years due to textbook-based teaching, which didn't align with his faster-paced learning desires. He proceeded to self-educate on the latest software development platforms and, in 1997, started a website development business called Rush Web Solutions. After 15 years running a successful small business with multiple product offerings, he decided to enter the investor funded start-up world with an idea he had been mulling over.
In 2012, Mr. Rush spun out a new company called Sightbox, designed to be an all-inclusive vision care solution. Sightbox raised its first outside funding in 2014 and was eventually sold to Johnson & Johnson in 2017. Rush continued his role leading the growth of Sightbox under J&J's Vision Care business inside their Medical Devices division through the beginning of 2020.
Besides his corporate contributions, Mr. Rush is an accomplished songwriter, musician and producer. He has released multiple country music singles and albums, which can be found on most streaming services.
A champion of entrepreneurialism in his community, Mr. Rush has lent his expertise and investment to support several organizations. He is a former board member of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, having served in his role from 2019 to 2021. Passionate about giving back, he and his wife, Cheyenne, also advocate on behalf of foster children. Among his initiatives, Mr. Rush launched an organization that sponsored an annual foster children's event at Oaks Park, an amusement park in Portland.
Proud of his professional accomplishments, Mr. Rush credits his success to his upbringing, his amazingly supportive wife and three children, Avery, Carter and Scarlett. He thrives on finding ways to bring crazy ideas to life by building strong teams of amazing people to help bring those ideas to the masses.
